I returned this product before using it

I've been running in the orginal Road Glove for about 6 months now and have really enjoyed that shoe. So when the Road Glove 2 came up on SteepandCheap I ordered a pair. I fit the orginal Road Glove in a 10.0 US just perfect. So I ordered a 10.0 in this shoe. It arrived today, put it on and it's way too big. Seems really weird that 2 shoes only seperated by a version number would fit so differently. I would guess that the orginal Road Glove fit large, just because I'm normally a 9.5.

Ordered these off S&C. I only got to try them on. I instantly found out that this shoe is ONLY designed for people whose second toe is shorter than their big toe. I have the opposite, (big toe is shorter - called Morton's Toe). I usually fit most shoes just fine, but this was the worst fitting shoe I've ever put on.

Aside from the toe issue, I noticed a bulbous feel under the ball of the foot. I wasn't sure if I like that or not. Definitely a different feel from my Merrill Road Runners (another bare foot shoe). It looks cool and has a very interesting tread pattern and materials.

I wish I could have kept the shoe and gave it a complete review but this much I can say is if you have a Morton's toe, do not waste your time.
